  • Which part sounds made up? The increase in number of people living on the street? The idea that people living on the street are often pedestrians? The idea that an increase in the number of pedestrians will correlate with an increase in the number of pedestrian deaths?

    Here’s a surprisingly good analysis of the problem. They concluded increased homeless accounts for roughly 13% of the recent increase in pedestrian deaths.

    As I said elsewhere, this isn’t a single problem. It’s almost certainly a multitude of problems. A multitude that all contribute to the same result.

    Another problem I pointed out in the very comment you replied to, is that our roads are almost intentionally designed to maximize the killing of pedestrians with motor vehicles.



  • Your conflating a fork, with using an engine in your own browser. Nobody is forking Gecko, Blink, or WebKit. LibreWolf is a modified Firefox, not a fork. The LibreWolf team takes every update to Firefox, removes a few features, ads a few more, and releases their version. Same with Brave. Neither is maintaining their own separate fork. They just take the latest from Mozilla or Google and incorporate their code into it.

    Maybe someone could fork one of them. Though they wouldn’t be getting any assistance with feature or security updates from the original branch anymore. They’d be totally on their own with what could quickly be an old code base. Which is why nobody does that.

    But back to the important part. What do I need to be saved from?











  • That’s how much I pay for YouTube Premium.

    I also buy CDs, or Bandcamp downloads directly for those I really like, and want to donate to.
    I “curate” whole discographies of stuff that I want to “archive”.
    But when someone recommends music I haven’t heard of, I load up their most popular stuff on YouTube Music and listen to a bunch there, ad free. Then decide if or how I obtain more.
